NFL Team Stats, Key Players, & Injury Reports

New Orleans Saints (11-5, Playoffs: 1-0)

Last week in the NFC Wild Card game, Saints vs Eagles everybody thought that New Orleans couldn’t play in the cold, including me. They surprised everybody by winning that game in Philadelphia. Drew Brees had something to prove and he did what he needed to do to help the Saints move forward. Although, you really have to give the Saints defense props for keeping Philly at bay. New Orleans showed that they’re 3-5 away record in the regular season means nothing in the post season. This week their headed into Seattle, the key players that need to bring their A-game is the whole New Orleans defense and on offense the Saints need Drew Brees and the wide receivers to be on one accord to win this game.

Seattle Seahawks (13-3)

Seattle Seahawks had a bye week for the first round of the NFL playoffs since being the NFC West division leaders. The Seahawks have been a force this season with a 13-3 regular season record, 7-1 at home, and coming into the NFL playoffs with home field advantage. A place where the Seattle Seahawks want to be playing in the playoffs since they beat the Saints in week 13.

My prediction for this game is Seahawks will start leading this game early but the Saints will keep this game close since they have something to prove. This thought alone makes me not want to beat on the spread. So I will be taking Seattle Seahawks with the moneyline for 5 units. Yes, since this is the NFL Playoffs I will be doing 5 unit bets.
